Writers On Writing

'A poor poet immitates, a good poet steals.'  - T S Eliot

'You know, you don't always have a choice what you're going to write. You're not like a cow that can give cream with one udder and milk with another.' - Bruce Duffy 

'The story - from Rumplestiltskin to War and Peace - is one of the basic tools invented by the human mind, for the purpose of gaining understanding. There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories.' - Ursula LeGuin 

'Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry; make 'em wait.' - Charles Reade
